Abnormal increases in muscle tone can be caused by various musculoskeletal
disorders. The objective of this study was to evaluate intratester and
intertester reliabilities in measuring the stiffness of the shoulder muscles
using strain ultrasound elastography (USE) and an acoustic coupler. Tissue
stiffness was measured in the trapezius muscle and in the supraspinatus muscle
